Yes to the super friendly bit, although in my experience people from Ontario can bitch with the best of them. Usually not about other people though, just about all our own issues lol. And yes to the igloos - this being from some ignorant Americans. Sorry, the Maritimes is what we call our East Coast provinces. Don't ask me why, but it seems like anyone from either New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (where I go to school), Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland definitely live up to being amazingly hospitable.
I've only been to Vancouver once before, but it was definitely beautiful.
And I'm with you about being a bit ethnocentric in terms of being scared of having to deal with non-English speaking countries. Especially if it has no relation whatsoever to a Romantic language. I'd be able to handle France as soon as all years of French classes kick in mentally, and maybe Italy with my 1 year of Italian classes. But I would have major issues with Eastern Europe or Asia. I'm game for going to Western Europe and muddling through though.
I'm going to move onto a completely different topic now just because I have the opportunity: I'm thinking of moving to England to study law, but I was wondering if you could tell me from your impressions which are good universities. Preferably outside of London, since it freaks me out a bit with it's massive metropolitanism (don't know if that's a word, but basically I don't have a lot of experience with very large cities).
